Burying a Sausage to Stop Rain on Your Wedding Day? Yep, It’s a Thing.
If you’ve never heard of burying a sausage before your wedding… buckle up, because this one’s a gem.
Somewhere deep in the archives of wedding folklore (the guess is the UK, though no one’s entirely sure), couples began burying a sausage in the ground before their wedding as a good luck charm to guarantee perfect weather. Why a sausage? Honestly, no idea. But it’s weird, it's random, and it’s exactly the kind of chaotic superstition I secretly live for.
- The concept is simple:
- Get yourself a sausage (any kind)
- Dig a small hole at or near your ceremony spot
- Bury it in the lead-up to the big day
Some say a week before, others swear a month out. I’ve even heard of couples doing it the night before just for the fun of it. There are zero rules — and that’s part of the charm.
Who knows. But I dare say.. It’s probably not very scientific..haha. But even if it does rain on your wedding day, you still walk away with a cracking story - and honestly, that’s worth it alone.
What I love most about this tradition is how inclusive it is. There’s no “only the bride must do this under a full moon” energy here. Anyone can bury the sausage. Partner A, Partner B, your dog, your wedding party - the more chaotic the energy, the better. Turn it into a mini ritual with your crew. Add champagne. Film the whole thing. The group chat content alone will be iconic.
Whether you’re superstitious, curious, or just hoping to avoid soggy shoes at the altar — burying a sausage might be the lucky charm you never knew you needed.
Worst case? It rains, and you’ve still got love, laughter, and champagne (and trust me I also secretly live for a rainy wedding shoot because damm they are so romantic and real).
Best case? Sunshine, good vibes, and a wedding day story for the ages!
And PLEASE Tag me if you do it — I neeeeed to see the pics!
